UK operator Jet Exchange has secured approval to fly pets that comply with government requirements into Farnborough airport. The approval expands on the company's existing approvals and enables Jet Exchange to transport eligible cats, dogs and ferrets into both Biggin Hill and Farnborough, with a further application for Oxford airport currently in progress.

The company operates a Challenger 604 for charter, and also manages aircraft for private clients. It holds approvals from the US Department of Homeland Security and the Canadian Transportation Agency, facilitating pet transportation between North America and the UK.

MD Ian Austin says: "Several brokers and owners already make extensive use of our capability to transport eligible pets. With our additional approvals, we're now well placed to cover the most popular arrival destinations in southern England, making it easy for charter customers to bring pets home with them from holidays."
